SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar

Chapter 843 Absolute Emperor's Monologue

?

Kuzon's heart raced as he watched the Outgroup in sheer annoyance.

'Filthy… they're all filthy!' His thoughts rang.

Why were they here, sullying the Royal Palace with their impure presence? To him, it was a crime worth disposing anyone of.

'No… not yet. I need to know how they achieved this!'

The Midas Empire's defences were by no means a walk in the park. They had a very powerful warding barrier, for starters. Even the immensely powerful Jared Leonard could not find a way to go around or disable it.

Furthermore, they had powerful guards stationed everywhere.

'I made sure even the royals served as leaders among the guards. Cousins, uncles and aunts. Even Kido was meant to be a guard before he went down this foolish path.'

If the Royals were guarding the Midas Empire, it only made their security tighter. How then would anyone be able to get this far into his precious domain—especially if they were the Outers?

'And now they're challenging me? These bags of filth?!'

There was a time when he never really had an opinion of the other races. He hadn't considered the difference in power and prestige between his Midas Race and the other Races as a cause for discrimination.

However…

'Weak-minded savages that fall for Jared are all inferior.'

Whether it was the annihilated Demon Race, the humans, or whatever other Race. All of them succumbed to Jared's influence. All of them were too weak to do anything about it.

'Only the Midas Empire stands tall. We are this world's only hope.' They had to wipe out the evil known as Jared Leonard from the face of the world.

It boggled his mind why no one understood such simple logic. Were they idiots? Yes, that was most likely the case.

'I'm the strongest and wisest person in the greatest Empire. I'm the only one fit to destroy that evil monster, Jared. I will wipe out that monster and then lead the new world into prosperity.'

The Outgroup had always been a thorn in his side in his quest for perfect balance. It was most likely for the best that they came to visit him.

'I'll end all of them and then torture the last one so I can get the information I desire.'

That way, nothing would stand in the way of his goals… his perfect picture of restructuring the world once Jared was defeated.

'Don't these idiots realize it yet?' Kuzon scowled at his enemies with malevolence. 'They can't save anything. The only one who can make a true difference… is me!'

Then again, he had to consider the right strategy to employ.

Yes… he wasn't simply going to charge towards them like some complete amateur. No, as a brilliant Emperor, he was built better than that.

'Seeing as Neron can easily defeat Zar'k, I have to assume he's the most powerful in the group. Has he been hiding his powers? Or did he just use his trump card? No, I doubt it.'

Someone as shrewd as Neron wouldn't use his trump card so readily. Besides, he looked completely fine even after subduing the Dragon King, so he couldn't have exerted that much power—at least, not very much.

'Maybe he's just acting fine. Yes, that's most likely the case. He's pretending to be fine and he's trying to restore his strength. Or maybe he used a one-time use Magic Item, and he can't use it anymore. That means he's still an Inept!' Kuzon's grin was already broadening at this point.

'Knowing how sly Neron is, he's trying to manipulate me into thinking otherwise. Keke, you can't fool me. Your silly little tricks won't deceive me!' Kuzon's pride began to swell the more his thoughts dwelled on the events that just occurred.

'There's also a chance that Z'ark went easy on him because he expected him to be Inept. Honestly, there are so many things that point out that Neron is still weak.'

The most obvious was his recent taunt.

'He wants me to fight their newest member? Why else would they sacrifice their weakest comrade, if not to test the waters while avoiding the most sacrifice.' Kuzon could see right through their obvious tactics.

'They're simply reaching, at this point. Their desperation is obvious to me.'

The more Kuzon thought of it, the bigger his confidence became. He considered his chances and realized the battle was absolutely in his favour.

'The most troublesome ones are still that white-haired lady and Kido, though.' He thought to himself.

When the Outgroup teleported here, he had sensed the energy signature coalesce on her. Besides, she was the one who cut off the Throneroom's connection with the outside world. That was enough to settle it.

Anytime he encountered the Outers, she always seemed like an important figure to them. That told him something.

'She's dangerous.'

As for Kido, he was a Midas Royal, and between the both of them, he was the older one. And Unfortunately, that stood for something.

'Unfortunately for him, he's not as adept towards violence as I am. Plus, I have the [Ultimate Power] on my side.'

As the Absolute Emperor, he had gotten gifts from both his parents—the secrets behind the Midas Royal authority.

The source of their great strength.

Only a few throughout history had ever possessed one of these two kinds of gifts, but he actually had both of them. And, they were of the utmost grade, considering it had been passed down from generation to generation by his prestigious family for millennia.

It was time to teach these fools—once and for all—the true might of the Midas Empire.

'I'll show them why they're nothing but filthy trash and why I am the only one who can stop Jared to save the world.' Kuzon grinned, now diverting his attention to the first one he would eliminate in order to initiate the chaos that was about to ensue.

First, he would kill the blue-haired idiot. And then, he would proceed to dispose of everyone else, except Kido—for old times' sake.

He had everything all figured out, and there was only one way this whole thing could end.

'In the end… victory is mine!'
